Former general secretary and the defeated candidate actress Nasrin Akter Nipun has filed a writ petition in the High Court seeking annulment of the results of the Bangladesh Film Artists Association’s (BFAA) 2024-26 term election.

The writ seeks a prohibition on the committee led by Misha Sawdagar and Monowar Hossain Dipjol panel. The writ application was filed on Wednesday (May 15) in the High Court bench formed by justices Naima Haider and Kazi Jinat Haque.

Advocate Polash Chandra Roy filed the writ on behalf of Nipun. The writ alleges irregularities and misconduct in the election and calls for an investigation into the matter and directions to form a new election committee.

Nipun graciously accepted the newly elected president and general secretary after the announcement of the results. However, her sudden move against the current committee sparks further controversy and confusion.

Previously, the Misha-Dipjol panel won the Bangladesh Film Artistes’ Association’s 2024-26 term election. On April 20, BFAA Chief Election Commissioner Khorshed Alam Khosru announced the results of the association’s election.
